College Buddy and I spent a weekend fishing out of his new Titan earlier this Spring. Good truck. Really good truck. Averaged 18 mpg (not *that* bad) in the mountains of western NC as well. Congrats.

Bling bling looks nice. I'm lucky to see 18mpg around town or in the mountains lol 6.0L powerstrokes are brutal on fuel

Nice Joe. So will you be towing the 240 up to Phoenix from now on? Have you thought any more about giving up RWD for an H4 car? I remembered you mentioning it once when I was at UPR. Now that you have a tow vehicle, you should come play with us in race group.

Don't curse like that.

I love my Silverado to death and its great gas mileage. I have a 2wd so the economy is not as brutal as the Z71.........too bad I am about to install a supercharger on it. I am awaiting a spring package and new wheels/tires before I install it. I am also contemplating building myself a beefier transmission and changing the differential gearing. I might install the Trans Am WS6 4L65-E automatic transmission that I have sitting around collecting dust (It needs to be rebuilt).

After shopping for a tow vehicle last year and driving tons of trucks, the Titan was the best. It was still enjoyable to drive and checked all the boxes for me. Good choice.
